Live Presentation by Pascal Violo
Some places impress you. Others never let you go. For travel journalist Pascal Violo, Corsica became an island he kept returning to. Not only because of its rugged mountains, turquoise bays and spectacular landscapes, but because behind every mountain pass and every encounter, new stories were waiting to be discovered.
On his journeys, he crosses the legendary GR 20 long-distance hiking trail, explores the bizarre rock formations of the Calanche and meets people who embody the true spirit of Corsica. A chestnut beer brewer, a lute maker and the last descendant of the legendary bandit queen Colomba share stories of an island rich in traditions and living history. Again and again, the travel journalist encounters traces of Pascal Paoli, whose ideas of democracy and human rights continue to resonate far beyond Corsica to this day.
With stunning images and personal encounters, Pascal Violo takes his audience on a journey into the heart of Corsica – to a place where untamed nature, a turbulent history and genuine hospitality come together to shape a truly unique island.
